Back from the Brink

Lifting the lid on the most compelling story in British politics today, Back from the Brink charts the Conservative Party's bumpy journey from the political wilderness to 10 Downing Street. With unprecedented access to key figures, including every leader from John Major to David Cameron, political journalist Peter Snowdon sheds new light on the decline and renaissance of the party that dominated 20th-century British politics. Back from the Brink is packed full of fresh insights into what really goes on behind closed doors at Westminster. It exposes the bitter rivalries and recriminations that blighted the Conservatives in opposition, and reveals the highs and lows of the 2010 general election campaign and the momentous negotiations that led to Britain's first post-war coalition government.
